Question game

Go Diego Go- Bug's World.

What was the last DVD you watched?

[thetortfeasor]

24 ... seasons 1-6.


Last time you played a sport (besides fencing)?

[Nusy]

In the summers we played badminton every year in the fencing hall, so.... 2 summers ago, I guess? As of "officially", I played volleyball in elementary school (I started fencing in 4th grade)



Do you like champagne/sparkling wine/spumante?

[magic_moose]

Not a lot. I leave those to my wife, who is very fond of them.

Are there Hungarian cooking ingredients you like that you can't find in California?

[Nusy]

Yes I miss getting duck (farm duck, not wild), goose (same), real paprika peppers (tho bell peppers mainly fill that gap), trappista cheese... And I'm having a hard time with the potatoes here as they tend to fall apart after cooking... ours are firmer.




Does anyone know a place where I could get duck breasts....? (I could pay with an invite for duck roast or pumpkin seed duck strips...)

[thetortfeasor]

Maybe try Whole Foods, or failing that, a good farmer's market for the duck breasts and paprika peppers?

[Nusy]

Well, oddly enough, as Fresno is a farming area, duck is pretty much unknown here (I guess at Asian shops maybe...). Paprika peppers I know you can get in Burbank, but it's a bit of a trip for two pouds of peppers. And their delivery fees are ridiculously expensive.




Why is no one seeding the torrents I'm downloading....?

[JackOfHearts]

Because file-sharers are by nature takers, not givers.


Did you use Napster when it first came out?

[Nusy]

Nope. I had it for a while way later, but didn't like it. Mainly because then I couldn't figure out what it is.




What is it, anyways?

[JackOfHearts]

File sharing program. These days you have to pay for the music you download, but Napster was the start of the whole illegal downloading craze. Well, for the mainstream, anyways.


What was the first chat/IM program you used?

[thetortfeasor]

AIM. I still like it, but I think google talk has become my favorite messenging program since it allows me to multitask in the same tab/window.

How long have you known your best friend?

[JackOfHearts]

Since high school, senior year.


What's your favorite thing in your closet?

[thetortfeasor]

At the moment it's this amazing pair of jeans that I bought a couple weeks ago. They're pretty much perfect in every single way.


What are your thoughts on Second Life?

[JackOfHearts]

So long as I don't die again, I think it'll be alright.


What are your thoughts on life in general?

[Lady Quindecim]

So long as I don't die again, I think it'll be alright.


What are your thoughts on life in general?

"I thin that G__'s got a sick sense of humour"
-no, that can't be summed up in one post.

Do you have an unscented bee's wax candle?

[JackOfHearts]

Nope.


Do you have a weird tie?

[Nusy]

I have two large velvet bow ties from my grandpa. And a royal blue tie with an embroidered fencer from the 2005 Europeans.



Do they count as weird?

[JackOfHearts]

Those sound awesome.


How do you get red chili stains off of a counter?

[Nusy]

Try lemon juice or vinegar. Those generally get off reasonably anything.

Tho, okay then, one of my father's ties counts as weird. It's a thin pink leather tie. Count the fact that it was a gift from some not-so-loved relatives as an extenuating circumstance.



Now, is that one weird?

[Go? Fencing?]

Just a bit.

Do you like bread pudding?
